Abstract

We prove energy, Morawetz and rpr^p-weighted estimates for solutions to the Teukolsky equation set on a slowly-rotating Kerr-de Sitter background. The main feature of our estimates is their uniformity with respect to the cosmological constant Λ>0\Lambda>0 (thus allowed to tend to 00), while they hold on the whole domain of outer communications, extending up to rΛ12r\sim \Lambda^{-\frac{1}{2}}. As an application of our result, we recover well-known corresponding estimates for solutions to Teukolsky on a slowly-rotating Kerr background in the limit Λ0\Lambda\to 0.
